Better than Anti-Depressants

What is the deal? Why don't doctors prescribe bundles of flowers and reading books on your porch ( sorry I am from the south, patio) listening to the sound of rain falling on the patio roof to stressed patients?
My Nana took me shopping this weekend, no, not for clothes and accessories, but for FLOWERS! I know, it was great. I couldn't wait to get home to plant them all and decorate my patio with them. As we walked through Calloways I couldn't help but praise God for all of the diverse and beautiful flowers that He created for His glory and my enjoyment! From Gerber Daisy's to Aloe Vera plants, they were all fragrantly gorgeous!
After shopping we did some laundry and I headed home to plant! It was so much fun acting like I have a green thumb. I think I did alright though.(Pictures below)It's amazing how flowers make you exuberantly happy just looking at them!! I love flowers.
Last night Ashley and I sat out on the patio and read Esther while listening to the slow, steady fall of rain on the roof. It was wonderful and very relaxing. Next time you're feeling a little down or stressed,grab a book, turn on the rain, and sit on the patio near some flowers!
